Who do Americans trust as a source of information about COVID-19? How many want to get tested? And do people think they would be able to afford to get treatment or a vaccine if one becomes available?

NBC News and the Commonwealth Fund polled U.S. adults over the last week to learn their views on the coronavirus pandemic. Here’s a taste of what the survey found: 

• Personal doctors or other health care providers are the most trusted source of information. 
• Majorities of both Democrats and Republicans want to get screened if a test becomes available or if they think they’ve been exposed to the virus.
• Most Americans would factor cost into their decision to seek treatment if they were to become infected.
